My tiny contribution to the community (XPGL)
« on: August 25, 2008, 01:59:55 AM »
XP Game Launcher is my own version of a game launching utility.
http://home.comcast.net/~animl/xpgl.htm

The web site new and will be expanding.

Contact me with any suggestions, questions, or issues with the software. It has NOT been tested on Vista and remains for Windows XP until that time.

The site content is changing, as now it's set in frames.
Might be better off using this link

http://home.comcast.net/~animl/

Although the DL page will probably remain as is.

In Services and Processes tab if you set the "View" to File Details, when selecting\highlighting and item it will give file info along with descriptions and notes.
This should give you a good idea if you should terminate the item or not, without having to look it up on the internet. The "notes" are limited to standard XP services and Processes.

There is also a services guide in PDF format (right click menu in the Services Tab)  which gives different configurations of services, depending on how you want the machine to run. Keep in mind those listed settings are for permanent changes in the OS. As long as they are temporary changes, using the Launch and Restore features instead, you'll be able to do more then the guide may suggest, such as Level 4 settings (power user). This will be updated in the future and MAY be translated to pre-set options. At this time it remains to be done manually and machine specific.

Future ideas; There may be a reboot sequence added that may handle all user selected system tweaks, that will only be applied on reboot and restored on the next reboot via the software. This the OS can be changed from Office type task to a gaming computer and back to it's previous state.

If you have any errors in the software, you can find the error log in the top "Reports" menu and send it to me. This will aid in future updates.

Also, this software is not property of HTC, and they have no obligations at all to support it in any way. Therefore, don't expect Skuzzy or anyone else to answer questions about it other then the effects on the game. All support issues should be  directed to me. I'm not even sure if they will allow it to be supported within their  forums. The forum on the site may be functional but it's not complete as of yet, at which point all support issues should be directed there. IF Skuzzy allows it then it can be done here as well. That's totally his or and HTC call.

I hope it helps some get a little better game play. Just don't expect it to make monkeys fly out of your butt :)
